Stonebridge, a shopping area in Potomac Town Center, in Woodbridge, Virginia, has reopened after a search for suspects in an armed carjacking.

The Prince William County police said the carjacking happened on Bayside Avenue in Woodbridge earlier Thursday.

Officers spotted the stolen car around 2:30 p.m., and the police said the suspects ran into Stonebridge.

Other suspects who fled from the car are in custody.
